1 Types of recursion Readings: none. In this module: learn to use accumulative recursion learn to recognize generative recursion CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 1 Structural vs. general recursion All of the recursion we have done to date has been structural. The templates we have been using have been derived from a data definition and specify the form of the recursive application. In this module we will learn how to use a new form of recursion, accumulative recursion. We ll also learn to recognize generative recursion. For the next several lecture modules we will use (primarily) structural recursion and accumulative recursion. We will avoid generative recursion until the end of the course. CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 2 Pure structural recursion Recall from Module 05: In pure structural recursion, all arguments to the recursive function application (or applications, if there are more than one) are either: unchanged, or one step closer to a base case according to the data definition CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 3
2 The limits of structural recursion ;; (max-list lon) produces the maximum element of lon ;; max-list: (listof Num) Num ;; requires: lon is nonempty (define (max-list lon) (cond [(empty? (rest lon)) (first lon)] [(> (first lon) (max-list (rest lon))) (first lon)] [else (max-list (rest lon))])) There may be two recursive applications of max-list. CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 4 The code for max-list is correct. But computing (max-list (countup-to 1 25)) is very slow. Why? The initial application is on a list of length 25. There are two recursive applications on the rest of this list, which is of length 24. Each of those makes two recursive applications. CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 5 list-max CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 6
3 Intuitively, we can find the maximum of a list of numbers by scanning it, remembering the largest value seen so far. Computationally, we can pass down that largest value seen so far as a parameter called an accumulator. This parameter accumulates the result of prior computation, and is used to compute the final answer that is produced in the base case. This approach results in the code on the next slide. CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 7 ;; (max-list/acc lon max-so-far) produces the largest ;; of the maximum element of lon and max-so-far ;; max-list/acc: (listof Num) Num Num (define (max-list/acc lon max-so-far) (cond [(empty? lon) max-so-far] [(> (first lon) max-so-far) (max-list/acc (rest lon) (first lon))] [else (max-list/acc (rest lon) max-so-far)])) CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 8 (define (max-list2 lon) (max-list/acc (rest lon) (first lon))) Now even (max-list2 (countup-to )) is fast. (max-list2 (cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 (cons 4 empty))))) (max-list/acc (cons 2 (cons 3 (cons 4 empty))) 1) (max-list/acc (cons 3 (cons 4 empty)) 2) (max-list/acc (cons 4 empty) 3) (max-list/acc empty 4) 4 CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 9
4 This technique is known as structural recursion with an accumulator, or sometimes just accumulative recursion. It is more difficult to develop and reason about such code, which is why purely structural recursion is preferable if it is appropriate. HtDP discusses it much later than we are doing (after material we cover in lecture module 10) but in more depth. CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 10 Structural vs. accumulative recursion In pure structural recursion, all arguments to the recursive function application (or applications, if more than one) are either: unchanged, or one step closer to a base case in the data definition In structural recursion with an accumulator, arguments are as above, plus one or more accumulators containing partial answers. The accumulatively recursive function is a helper function, and a wrapper function sets the initial value of the accumulator(s). CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 11 Another example: reversing a list ;; my-reverse: (listof Any) (listof Any) (define (my-reverse lst) ; using pure structural recursion (cond [(empty? lst) empty] [else (append (my-reverse (rest lst)) (list (first lst)))])) Intuitively, append does too much work in repeatedly moving over the produced list to add one element at the end. This has the same worst-case behaviour as insertion sort. CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 12
5 Reversing a list with an accumulator (define (my-reverse lst) ; primary function (my-rev/acc lst empty)) (define (my-rev/acc lst acc) ; helper function (cond [(empty? lst) acc] [else (my-rev/acc (rest lst) (cons (first lst) acc))])) CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 13 A condensed trace (my-reverse (cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 empty)))) (my-rev/acc (cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 empty))) empty) (my-rev/acc (cons 2 (cons 3 empty)) (cons 1 empty)) (my-rev/acc (cons 3 empty) (cons 2 (cons 1 empty))) (my-rev/acc empty (cons 3 (cons 2 (cons 1 empty)))) (cons 3 (cons 2 (cons 1 empty))) CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 14 Example: greatest common divisor In Math 135, you learn that the Euclidean algorithm for GCD can be derived from the following identity for m > 0: gcd(n, m) = gcd(m, n mod m) We also have gcd(n, 0) = n. We can turn this reasoning directly into a Racket function. CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 15
6 ;; (euclid-gcd n m) computes gcd(n,m) using Euclidean algorithm ;; euclid-gcd: Nat Nat Nat (define (euclid-gcd n m) (cond [(zero? m) n] [else (euclid-gcd m (remainder n m))])) This function does not use structural or accumulative recursion. CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 16 The arguments in the recursive application were generated by doing a computation on m and n. The function euclid-gcd uses generative recursion. Once again, functions using generative recursion are easier to get wrong, harder to debug, and harder to reason about. We will return to generative recursion in a later lecture module. Avoid generative recursion until then. CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 17 Structural vs. accumulative vs. generative recursion In (pure) structural recursion, all arguments to the recursive function application (or applications, if there are more than one) are either unchanged, or one step closer to a base case in the data definition. In accumulative recursion, parameters are as above, plus parameters containing partial answers used in the base case. In generative recursion, parameters are freely calculated at each step. (Watch out for correctness and termination!) CS 135 Fall : Types of recursion 18
